THE THIRD SYLLABLE is "SAW.'
There is one point upon which
the ArkanSau is exceedingly tOuchy.
He prOuounces the third Sylla
ble OF AIkauSaw, as he spells it,
''saw." Que of his next door neigh.
bOIs is State named Kansas.
There is loo much similarity IN the
names, aud if he could by any means
change Kansas into anything else
he would do so. As he sees no
hope ot this be insists that there
must be at least this difference in
pronunciation, aud to bear a Strdn
ger say Arkansas, with the accent
on the second syllable, Is, except in
polite circles, accepted as caSns
belli. He insists, moreover, that
the French, who were it's first set
tiers. pronounced it ArkanSaw, and
he maintains that the first settlers
should be accorded such privileges
as they obtained little else. The
ArkanSah Is more tenacious of bis
rights and privileges, aud there are
more OF him than in 1903 when Ar.
kansaw was purchased by the
United States from France, or in
1919 when it was organized Il terri
tory, or even in 1886 when it was
admitted into the Uuion.-Ne1c

The old practical joke of a half dozen
young fellows raising dripping wet UNI
brellas in the main doorway of a public
hall at the close of an entertainment be-
fore a crowded house on q starlight night.
was played with entire success a few even
ings z in Harlem. The news of the
unexpected and most upwelcome storm
was communicated to others by those of
the audience who first saw the umbrellas,
and IN that way it became the exciting
and exclusive subject of conversation
throughout the building. Gentlemen
carefully covered their silk tiles with
their handkerchiofs, rolled up the ends of
the legs of their trousers and turned up
their coat collars. Ladies prepared them
selves in the conventional way for a pro-
voking walk to the cars, and others sent
their gallant escorts flying after umbrel-
las, coaches and w~aterproofs. In about
ten minutes the real state of things, the
pretty how to do, had been discovered,
and then came unbounded hilarity and a
resolve on the part of the weatherbound
boys to try it on somewhere themselves.

1t was a long time before Friday came,
and / began TO think he was going to dis
regard my summons, and was getting
angry, when he suddenly put in an ap-
pearance. / explained to him what 1
wished to know, and without the slightest
hesitation he said to the venerable arrow
maker:
Tell my brother al about the poisoned
arrows"
well" said the old man, first we
take a bloated Yellow rattlesnake in
August, when he is most poisonous, and
tie him with q forked stick to a stake;
then we tease him until he is in a great
rage. This is done by passing a switch
over his body from his head to his tail.
When he threshes the ground with his
body and his eyes grow bright and sparkle
like diamonds, we kill a deer, antelope
or some other small animal, and, tearing
out the liver, throw it to the snake while
it is warm and the blood still coursing
through it. The reptile will strike it again
and again and pretty soon it will begin
to turn black. When he tires, the snake
is leased again and he is induced to sink
his fangs into the soft flesh until all the
poison has been extracted from him and
the liver is reeking with it. He is then
killed and the liver lifted with a sharp
pole, for so dangerous is it no one dares
touch it. The liver is let lie for about an
hour, when it will DO almost jet black
and emit a sour smell. Arrows are then
brought and their iron heads pushed into
the liver up to the shaft. They are left
sticking there for about one hour and q
half, when they are withdrawn and dried
in the sun. A thin glistening yellow
scum adheres to the arrow, and if it but
SO much as touches raw flesh it is certain
to poison it to death"
L asked if Indians still used poisoned
arrows. NO" he replied, mo man,
Indian or white man, for years past has
been shot with these arrows, and they are
no longer made. Omaha Republican.

1t has been said that the hurts suffered
in pugilism are particularly severe, and
that few pains equal the pain resulting
from a blow Of the fist squarely and fore
IDLY delivered upon the nose. An Incl
dent which goes to support this allega-
ton is reported from Paris. A lion
tanner, in one of the Boulevard shows,
was set upon by a powerful and irritable
old lion, whose cage he had entered, &C
cording to habit in the course of an en-
tertainment. The beast made his at
tack without warning or particular cause,
and in an instant the man was upon his
back, between the lions paws. The
spectators screamed, thinking it was an
end of the lion tanner; but, like a flash,
he was upon his feet, and striking out
with his right, in accurate pugilistic
style, landed his fist upon the lions
nose, with a spat that was heard all over
the place. The lion wheezed and
sneezed and backed away, shaking his
head and shutting his eyes as II dazed,
while the man stepped quickly, but with
dignity, out of the cage. The blow was
a good one, and if it had fallen upon a
man would undoubtedly have knocked
him out" Evidently, it made tho lion
tingle from the spot where it was deliv-
cred to the tip of his dropping and spirit

Wood powder has recently been, intro
duced as an explosive in the Belgian
army in place of dynamite. The powder
is obtained by treating ordinary sawdust
with a mixture of nitric and sulphuric
acids, which is afterward formed into
cartridges by means of powerful presses.
To protect these cartridges from moisture
they are afterward covered with paraf-
fined paper. The instantaneous produc-
ton of the gases arising upon the explo-
sion causes the air in contact with the
face surface of the cartridge to act to
some extent as q light tamping, and the
power of the explosion is directed to the
other face. In comparative experiments
made with wood powder and dynamite
it was ascertained that, for equal weights,
charges of the first substance were at
least as powerful as those of the second,
and the results were more regular .-Bos-
ton Budget.

Cold Coffee is a Good Thing.

The boys of the national guard, who
have spent their week in camp at Peek
skill, declare that cold coffee is the most
sustaining and the safest of drinks. In
speaking of the matter with the surgeon
of one of the regiments recently, a re-
porter was told that for the tourist and
the sportsman cold coffee was quite as
good as for the marching soldier. you
see" said the surgeon, ''in places where
food is scarce or bad, coffee prevents
typhus fever by oounteracting rapid
waste of the tissues. There is no more
dangerous internal waste than that
caused by fatigue, inasmuch as the vital
ity is too low to throw it off, and thus all
the living stuff in the body is poisoned by
what is dead. 1 have seen persons suf-
fering from symptoms of violent poison
ing before now, simply because they had
walked more than their strength would
bear. In point of fact they were poi
soned, but merely because they could o
get rid of wasted tissues. II tourists,
laboring men, soldiers, pedestrians, ex-
c~ursionists, and all persons out on holt
day trips would fill up their TASKS with
cold coffee instead of drinking of water,
they would never be troubled by a rapid
using up of their bodies. New York

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordcred
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. 1t is easily put out
of order.
Greasy food, tough food. sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry. late hours, IT.
regular habits and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people a nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad bus
mess and making the American people so
healthy that they can enjoy their meals
and be happy.
Remember: No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dyspep-
tic. Ask your druggist for a bottle.

A permous rostponemept.

To postpone, when the duty for i'm.
mediate is clear, is always unwise. Espec-
tally is it so when increasing ill health
calls for a resort to medication. Diseases
of the kidneys and bladder are often of
swift growth-always of fatal tendency if
not combatted at the outset. We have
all-even those of us who are not remark
ably well instructed-heard something of
the danger attending Bright's disease,
diabetes. and other diseases of the kidneys
or bladder. Let no one be foolhardy
enough to be inactive. Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters are peculiarly adapted to over
come this inaction, to sufficiently stimulate,
without exciting the kidneys and bladder.
Infinitely is this diuretic to be preferred
to the impure and fiery stimulants of com.
merce, which prove the bane of unwary
persons with a tendency to renal troubles.
They are likewise incompatible for dys-
pepsia, debility, fever and ague, and bill
lousness.
